Sleeplessness

I have suffered from sleep problems for years and like you I don’t want to take prescription medication for it so I often use OTC Morrisons sleep aid which you buy from Morrisons pharmacy or sleep patches from Amazon, I try not to use them every night

I wake several times in the night. Get up and make a drink and refill the hottie. No way would I pace the floor however worried I am...and I certainly have worries. You can't fall asleep while marching about.

A book to read close by is the best for me. If I go on line I stay awake too long. I often fall asleep over a book.

There was a thread called something like the 3 am crew which was comforting to know you are one of many awake in the early hours. Perhaps we should start a new one.

Sorry OP can't really help as I suffer from the same. I do make sure I am warm enough in bed, but that doesnt keep me asleep! But I expect you have tried everything. Medicationmis probably the sure fire way. Or perhaps medication from your GP for anxiety not necessarily for sleeplessness may help.

My son has awful problems with sleep. He can go days without it. I got him some gummies with magnesium glycinate and they seem to help. I got them in Holland and Barratt.
